Strange how a life chronology could be measured and memorialized in books, movies, songs, and video games. She’d been playing Call of Duty: Continental Carnage when the world ended, had in fact just gotten to the “stolen technical in Katanga” cutscene. She’d never finished that level, though, hadn’t ever played a game again.

With everyone killing each other there just wasn’t time.

“Hurry up, slow ass!” Julianne yelled from down the hallway, where she was putting the finishing touches on a breaching charge. Chloe’s snicker carried down from the ruined stairs, scarcely louder than the muted thumps of the suppressed AK she was shooting out the window.

Gracie had been humming Peace Frog. She hauled a new mag out, quit humming, and sighed.

We’ve been working some builds lately, trying to come up with the lightest possible effective Frankenguns we could build, for our smaller/younger minions.

This is Gracie (exactly such a smaller/younger minion) frozen mid-motion by @curtisspraguephotography’s sorcery while practicing transition drills (then put into a dystopian scene). That’s a @smithwessoncorp M&P Shield she’s pushing, w/ @tyrantcnc mag extension on board. The green US Elite Gear shemagh by @combatflipflops sets off her hair pretty damn nicely, if you ask us (and even if you don’t). Thanks to @uselitegear, @rainierarms, and @brownellsinc we have this young lady pretty well kitted out.

Blaster is a @primaryweapons AR pistol lower & @bootlegbuilderinc pistol upper on top (very nice combination, includes Adjustable Complete Bolt Carrier) and some @railscales plus @magpul #MBUS pro sights. We eventually put an @Aimpointusa Micro up top (after much discussion & more than a couple bourbons) perched on an @americandefensemfg mount w/ a @tangodowninc optic bikini cover thingy on it. Those are PMAGs with @magpodsbeneath (as always). Light up front is a @surefire_llc XC-1B (might get an XC2U instead, not sure). The sling is @blueforcegear w/ a RED (Rapid Emergency Detachment) Swivel. We can’t tag any ammo, all mags were empty & there wasn’t any in the studio (& we didn’t think to stage empty boxes as props, *sigh*). ⠀
⠀
Gloves are itty bitty @outdoorresearch gloves, smallest we could find and still too big. The battle belt is @highspeedgear Suregrip with assorted Taco mag pouches. Around back are BFG Ten Speed pouches & the admin pouch in back is holding a @vortexoptics monocular. Britches are @railridersgear w/ @drifire skivvies. You can’t see the @scarpana Zodiacs in this shot, nor her @deadbird_society patch.⠀

This isn’t the final configuration, not least because we have two young ladies to get rigged up for their birthdays between now and the middle of July, but it’s a start. ⠀

Take heed! We have advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate relationships with some of the companies you will be reading about (particularly, but not limited to, archival posts). If you purchase one of those items, we will get a small commission from the sale at no additional cost to you. A lot of work goes into Breach-Bang-Clear; by making your purchase through one of our portals you’ll be supporting our work. This will help us buy beer, bullets, and barbecue, and we won’t have to put pop-up ads and other such stupid shit into our articles to pay our expenses.

A Persian styled blade with a nearly straight spine for thrusting and featuring Emerson’s patented “wave-like feature” it’s akin to having a 38 in your pocket. The Hattin came out as a signature series and quickly became a hit in the cutlery circles.

Why They Kill, the Discoveries of a Maverick Criminologist, written by Richard Rhodes is recommended by Dr. William Aprill. It goes deep into the causative factors of violent behavior, and in a much different way than you might think.
